Eighteen-year-old Jeannotnamed Raymond before he fled from the Nazisand his younger brother, Claude, have found refuge in Toulouse, but freedom is a fleeting illusion in the south of France. Decrees are issued daily limiting the rights of foreigners, and Jews like Jeannot and Claude are still in danger.
Determined to fight the Germans and the Vichy collaborators, Jeannot seeks out the Resistance and joins the 35th Brigade, a band of young foreigners who have escaped arrest and now fight back with stolen weapons and the desperation of youth. In the Brigade, Jeannot finds friends, forbidden romance and even a kind of normalcy until tragedy and treachery strike, and everything he has built is torn apart.
Marc Levy is France’s #1 bestselling novelist, with more than 15 million copies of his seven books sold around the world. InThe Children of Freedom, he has created a gut-wrenching portrait of young men and women forced to grow up too fast and denied their place in the country they love. Based on true stories of the Resistance, including the story of Levy’s own father,The Children of Freedom resurrects untold tales of the Second World War and gives them their rightful place in our narrative history.

About the Author:
Praise for ‘Children of Freedom’
‘The latest international publishing sensation’

Paris Match
‘The reader can’t help but be moved by this book’
Elle
MARC LEVY is one of France's most successful authors but he came late to writing. Initially he worked for the Red Cross in Paris before leaving France to start up a successful computer graphics company in the US. Returning to France he started a very successful architecture company. Now he has made his home in London and has fallen in love with his adopted city.
Levy was inspired to write from his nightly habit of telling stories to his son and soon realised that this was what he was meant to do. Children of Freedom is the first of his novels to have a major British publication, despite his huge success across Europe.
